being bi-lingual or multi-lingual is good for the brain. I won't argue that your point of view is wrong, but why get yourself all worked up over this. I don't think it's something that you can change, so better for your peace of mind to accept it.
the hot ones are all still on the other side. the ones here are hardworking tho. maybe they'll help the economy somehow... but yes i do agree that despite being bilingual being good for brain, a national language needs to be enforced so the hispanic community can be integrated into US society versus just living side by side on same soil.
Yeah, it's really an inconvenience to see two languages and have to figure out which one is English... takes a whole half second!
Seems as though our melting pot has a big lump that just won't blend in no matter how vigorously we stir...
like i said-then be fair to everyone else..i'm russian,home depot! please add russian translation on your signs! i'm offended! i see discrimination in favor of spanish speaking people! hey! add some in chineese and hindi too!
Jack, is it really so hard ?? Maybe if you speak both languages, you can be faster at reading signs. And if you live in an area where there are more hispanics or latinos (like maybe San Antonio) then I can see where there are many more hispanics living there and it would be your benefit to learn spanish. Remember many latinos are natives mixed with European. The Native Americans were on this land first... then Europeans... then asians, blacks, and others.
What I fear is the way these people will vote in the future. There isn't one Hispanic country that maintains a well functioning, respectable, fair, non-corrupt democracy.
I am glad to see this come to light. It is very important for any nation to teach their youth at least two languages. Many years ago there was an attempt to have the primary language changed in the USA. Atleast something might happen with this large of a demographic bloc. I can only hope. Akuma
Former governor of Colorado Dick Lamm said it best: "Bilingualism is a blessing for an individual and a curse for a nation."
